It was a winning moment for Philly when Bradley Cooper and his date, mom Gloria Cooper, made their way to E!'s Ryan Seacrest on the Academy Awards red carpet Sunday night, and gave an enthusiastic "Hi, Philadelphia!" before a live national audience.

The city roared in response.

And now that we've chewed and digested full head-to-toe Oscar looks, imagine our surprise when we realized we had completely overlooked Mama Cooper's choice of footwear! The local woman we have to thank for rearing and raising the star of "Silver Linings Playbook" opted for comfort at the Dolby Theatre by pairing metallic sneakers beneath her dress. We assume the shoes - largely disregarded by the un-trained eye - were safely tucked beneath her black gown for most of the evening. However the always faithful paparazzi managed to snap a few images of the Coopers, in full, on the red carpet.

Do you think the sneakers were a nice personal touch from Mrs. Cooper?

    She really needed to wear heels. Thanks for the shout out anyway.

    Not cool. If comfort was the goal she should have worn fancy flats.

    Who cares? Everyone was looking at who was on her arm, not feet.

    Also give her a break. She's still mourning the loss of her husband. I'd be wearing bedroom slippers.

    Instead of mom's sneaks, why doesn't someone ask who he stole those pants from? Someone a good 5 inches shorter from the look of them. They don't even reach his ankles.

    I've been to Kenzo. I know a few Kenzo moms. She's no Kenzo mom.

    They forgot to report that she tied the laces together and chucked'em up on the telephone wires after the show.

    Who cares? Maybe she has a problem with her foot. It's a proud moment for her and you are going to point out her footwear? Get a life Esther Lee!

    I noticed them right away and was a little shocked. Least she could have worn black sneakers so they wouldn't show. I mean, she knows that this is a huge fashion night and she's accompanying her son. But she also told Kristen Chenoweth on the red carpet when she asked who her dress was by, that she just pulled it out of her closet.

    Kitten heels and after the show she could have worn those Dr Scholl flats in a gold pack.They are comfortable.
